He studied anthropology in Jahangirnagar University and joined teaching profession in 2001, firstly in Rajshahi University for a brief period before joining his alma mater in 2002. He has PhD in Anthropology from the University of Kent at Canterbury, UK. His core research interest is in the area of ethnicity, identity politics and agency. His unpublished doctoral study is titled: “We are simple people": Ethnicity, identity politics and agency of adivasi people in Bangladesh. This study attempts to trace out how the category adivasi came into being, firstly in the colonial rhetoric and later in the eyes of the burgeoning middle class Bengali during the colonial period as an ‘other’ in its entirety. The study attempts to discursively map out what he call the making of Tribalism and its effects in Bangladesh. He has co-edited two books in Bengali. Both the books published in 2014 are on issues of ethnicity and emerging issues of adivasi identity formation and politics. He has a passion for musical instruments, love to play guitar when he have time and of course listening to music is his favorite passion!
